robot slur discourse, nonsense

maybe we should have a slur for users of slurs for users of slurs for users of slurs )))

@5225225 assuming that it's not an edited image or just straight up a fake ID (which would be easy to do given it's a heavily censored and blurry photo), at least )
(ST so the risk of letting a minor through is still there despite requiring me showing some stranger what exactly I look like )))
re: mentions ukpol
(v0180 (RESP 20 (ST
@5225225 I guess it's so that, like, someone didn't steal their parents' ID and give it to them? )
(ST which is a real risk, I suppose, idk how you're going to get a picture of an adult holding their ID with some verification text without getting an adult involved )))
re: mentions ukpol
(v0180 (RESP 20 (ST
@5225225 I mean, yeah, none of them require the whole ID
if they just require the ID then that's silly but it's not a hill I'll die on
if they require a picture of my face, even without the ID, they can go fuck themselves )))

if there's one good thing about the online safety act it's that maybe this will make discord mods realize that sending a picture of your actual real-life face holding up an ID card to some stranger is a terrible idea )))

jobs
(v0180 (EXTN (ST
like, I suppose I have more experience in ruby, haskell, etc. than a complete beginner
like, I've never read any C# code before, that'd be a language I truly know nothing about
but I've never done anything serious in it )))
jobs
(v0180 (SPON (QUERY
how do I become employable
am I gonna have to force myself to finish my hobby projects (the... 1 that I have)
am I gonna have to lie about "having experience" in something even tho it's mostly me casually playing around with it
or, worst of all, am I gonna have to make a linkedin )))

once again complaining about canadians using "USMCA" instead of "CUSMA" for the trade agreement between canada, the US, and mexico )))
general politics
(v0180 (XSTM (ST
I don't get the argument that "but millionaires shouldn't be receiving taxpayer dollars to [receive some government subsidy/subsidized service]!"
like
1. in an ideal world, they would have already paid it back tenfold in taxes
2. means testing makes accessing the service more difficult for everyone and, I assume, isn't cheap for the government
3. they're less likely to think that policy is a waste of money if they get to use it
4. if they're a businessperson they probably already receive tons of government subsidies )))
usual genAI complaining
(v0180 (XSTM (QUERY
you ever read something so generic that it doesn't really matter if chatGPT wrote it because the end result would've been the same )))

the hong kong government is currently taking "watergate" a bit too literally by having a bottled water procurement scandal )))
(v0180 (SPON (RQ
people sometimes complain about pokemon getting free healthcare, but like, do you know how much a vet visit costs )
(ST it's probably some single payer system paid by taxes on poke mart items )))

medical?
(v0180 (EXTN (ST
I mean, obviously some hospitals have more 5-stars than 1-stars, and vice versa, but I'm wondering if it's more of a personality test than anything )))
medical?
(v0180 (SPON (ST
I got bored so I started looking up how big hospitals were (apparently surprisingly big) on google maps and their reviews are some of the most polarizing I've ever seen )
(ST they're either 5 stars or 1 stars with, like, 2 reviews at most in between )))
